By school or major. Georgia Tech's Fact Book reports first-year admission by college for fall 2025. You apply to Georgia Tech, not to a college: the college here is the one your intended major belongs to. The Fact Book's totals (65,968 applied, 8,028 accepted) differ from the Common Data Set's, and it notes its figures do not reflect the federal Student Right-to-Know cohort.
